Define 'submediant chord'.
vi in major, VI in minor. Versatile chord with tonic expansion, weak predominant, and deceptive cadence functions.
What is 'tonic expansion'?
When a chord substitutes for the tonic, extending the sense of home.
What is a 'deceptive cadence'?
A cadence that progresses V-vi (or V-VI in minor), avoiding the expected tonic resolution.
Define 'harmonic function'.
A chord's role within a progression (Tonic, Dominant, Predominant).
What is a 'predominant chord'?
A chord that typically leads to the dominant, creating a pull away from the tonic.
Define 'tonic'.
The 'home base' chord; stable, resolved, and provides a sense of rest.
Define 'dominant'.

What is the function of 'weak predominant'?
A chord that creates a gentle pull away from the tonic, leading to the dominant.
Define 'submediant chord'.
vi in major, VI in minor. Has tonic expansion, weak predominant, and deceptive cadence functions.
What is 'tonic expansion'?
Submediant acts as a substitute for the tonic, extending the sense of home.
What is a 'deceptive cadence'?
A cadence that progresses from V to vi (or VI in minor) instead of V-I.
Define 'harmonic function'.
A chord's role in a progression (T, PD, D), based on its relationship to other chords.
What is a 'predominant chord'?

What is 'contextual analysis'?

What is the function of a 'weak predominant'?
A chord that creates a gentle pull away from the tonic, leading to the dominant (e.g., vi).
